Zombicide Spin-Off Flip & Write For Shorter Games

September 2, 2022 by fcostin

Zombicide from CMON is getting a spin-off title which brings the "miniatures-based zombie-hoard destroying title" to a flip and write in Zombicide: Gear Up.

Zombicide: Gear Up // CMON

Taking on the role of survivors who are once more to live to fight another day in the apocalypse, players will be working cooperatively to ensure they are equipped to deal with a zombie onslaught.

Waves and waves of undead nightmares are relentlessly approaching and players will need to adapt throughout each wave to ensure they get out alive. You'll be reaching bosses at waypoints and levelling up your weapons to face the oncoming onslaught.

Up to six players will be setting out the square grids of enemies. Cards will be flipped to reveal their foes and players will then need to determine their reactions by writing on their mini-whiteboards.

“Word is out that there’s an Abomination controlling hordes of walking undead in the city. The Survivors know that their lives depend on taking it out. But in order to do that, they’ll have to clear out the regular undead standing in their way. It’s time to gear up and get out on the streets!” - CMON

Successfully working as a well-oiled machine, the Abomination will go down eventually! Falter in battle and players may not live to see themselves and their allies getting to safety.

There is a solo solitaire mode available too, utilising player survivor cards as three allies by your side. So, you can still power forward and manage the output of each ally's power alongside your own weaponry and might.

Zombicide: Gear Up is currently set to "coming soon" on the CMON website, however, if you did want to get a sneaky peek at the contents of the rules - they are free to download here.
